Peel MHK Tim Crookall says he is looking forward to taking charge at the Isle of Man Water Authority.
The appointment was part of Chief Minister Tony Brown's mid-term reshuffle of board and department members, and Mr Crookall found out he was to chair the authority at the weekend.
He says the opportunity came as a surprise, but he is more than willing to take on the responsibility for maintaining the Island's water supply.
However, he believes it's far from being an easy job:
'Possibly the most prolific drug dealer the island has seen' sentenced
'He was a career drug dealer who believed that he would not be caught'
